New Issue: UBS prices $2.57 million trigger callable contingent yield notes on three ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 17 – UBS AG, London Branch priced $2.57 million of trigger callable contingent yield notes due July 9, 2027 linked to the worst performing of the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF and the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 11.45% if each ETF’s closing level is at least 70% of its initial level on the relevant observation date.

The notes will be callable at par plus any coupon due on any monthly observation date after six months.

If the notes are not called and each ETF finishes at or above its 70% coupon barrier, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon.

If the worst performer finishes below its coupon barrier but at or above its 50% trigger level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the worst performer’s final level is below its initial level.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and UBS Investment Bank are the agents.
